COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONEditor’s note: has also been presented as "Mikkeller Young Lambic" or "Mikkeller Jonge Lambik or Mikkeller Young Spontanale".
First released draft as 2 months old at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2012. Later released carbonated at 4 months old.

UPDATED: JUL 5, 2013 Bottle at Craft Beer Co in Farringdon. 26th June 2013. Reddish orange with quite a bit of carbonation. Zero retention in the head. This is absolutely the last time I’m going to spend money on this Spontanale carry on.

375ml bottle. Pours a hazy medium gold, with a moderate white head, which lasts well but does not leave much lacing. The aroma offers a cider-like blend of tart apple and dusty leather notes, with some sour berry notes playing through it. It is strongly sour up front, with tart apple and preserved lemon notes. These give way to a blend of funkier sourness and leathery notes in the mid-palate. Light oak and more fruity sourness make up the finish. This is not a bad lambic, although not the most complex one out there.

37,5 cl bottle @ lusikka, BBE 21.06.2022
Aroma is odd and stale with metal and sweat. Also some currants and orange. Flavour is rather tart with rhubarb, some metallic notes, orange, lactic acid and hints of grapefruit.
